Arriving to produce Charro250 in the Monument Valley area at this time of year was always a big wager. The temperatures are unpredictable: we could have had cool days, but the hot ones showed up for both production days.
Roswell, New Mexico
Diego reflects on the production wager of reaching the Monument Valley area in early summer, where the heat became part of the story across both production days.

Roswell is very hot at 35 degrees Celsius. A few more days in Monument Valley would have made it very complicated for everyone.

Coffee means the day is beginning.
Albuquerque, New Mexico morning coffee stop
As a kid, I never imagined coffee would mean something more than drinking something bitter and dark. Over time, coffee became the signal that the day is beginning. And on days like today, it is the signal that a new adventure is beginning.

This is more than one more project.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Maybe we are not fully conscious yet of what we are about to do. It may look like one more project, one more photo, one more video. But to me, it is much more than that. It means bringing together people from different places who chose to believe in this. We are not chasing something personal. We are chasing something collective: to tell a story, to make presence in a place that, 250 years ago, carried another name. Now we are about to become part of that history. To create an image, a memory, a testimony that did not exist before, and that can travel forward to the next generations. That we were there. That the charro was there. That the vaquero was there. That the woman on horseback was there. That the escaramuza was there.
